Final Student Art Projects – Spring 2013

As an Art Teacher, I have been both challenged and blessed. As I teach techniques, mediums, concepts, non-verbal communication and so much more, I get to watch my students gain confidence and explore alternatives of expression. I get to see faces light up and pride gleam brightly. I am also faced by doubt, fear, reluctance and in many cases a large portion of society that does not value the Arts. Art is the epicenter of all disciplines of all times. Just consider the most brilliant man known to history, Leonardo de Vinci, his Art was the culmination of all his gifts to human kind. In the like, all people have an Artistic and Creative talent, it just takes practice just as kicking a soccer ball, skating a ramp, dropping into the surf, swinging a golf club or anything else you practice to learn and progress in. Take all your experience and all your knowledge, your wisdom, your patience, and you can create Art. This is the Final Project where the students use all they have learned to express themselves, test themselves, and explore unique ways of thinking, taking notes or exploring ideas. Art is essential to any persons life, and especially education. It provides the Aesthetic for life in which we all desire.

In my strategies for teaching the power of Art through self discovery, freedom of expression, creative problem solving, exploration and use of medium manipulation, I believe that I empower my students to expand themselves and realize that what makes the world move is the Art of expression. It is the most powerful of intrinsic rewards, yet harsh to open yourself to such judgment and criticisms once shared. Being an Artist can be difficult to manage and it demands passion, inspiration, emotional dexterity, attention to detail, extensive observation, resilience, dedication, sacrifice, knowledge and thoughtfulness. Art broadens your mind, your heart and your understanding of the world, and without it, we would be lost. These students, have reached out and took a risk, just as the singer on a stage. They have showed self initiative, care and demonstrated a skill they have been practicing. The final pieces are beautiful and surpassing to say the least. Impressive people make impressive Artists.

So, I am proud to present some of the final products from this school year created by my Art students under my direction, encouragement and guidance. Every piece you see has been through discussion of concept, themes, preparing the canvas, composition sketches, re-evaluation, creative problem solving, techniques and some hard conversations of what it means and why bother. What will keep the motivation, desire and passion to see through the whole project? In the end, every one of my students finds more of themselves and their ability to create and understand and thereby inspire others through non-verbal communication and sub-conscience aesthetics drawing peoples attention. It tells a little story about the person, the times, the creative ideas and are very accessible and relatable. Sometimes quirky and just fun.

As an eco minded individual, I often consider how to re-use as much as possible, and around a school, everything is re-usable, and what better than for its potential in the Arts; just like my students.

We have received old, tattered and overused Guitars and Trombones from Sandy Streeter of the El Rancho Charter School Music Department, Snowboards from friends Ryan Lane and Todd Howes and several other items all donated by colleagues and friends. We even got a donation of 20 raw maple freestyle skateboard decks from Derek Pulos, John Chamberlain and Greg Tsujimoto.
